"This removes a main motivation to join the project and leads to a disintegration of the network."
It is not clear to me just what "this" means. Is it the prohibition of the use of raw data or the use of raw data?
I would be interested in looking at the data to learn more about lightning strikes. Is that prohibited? Or is viewing of maps and statistical data the only use allowed?

It means that if everybody has access to the raw data, fewer people will become involved in the project. Makes sense right? the network will never obtain its potential for accuracy, etc, if nobody builds stations, contributes, and sends good data... instead enjoying the fruits of other folks' labor and pocketbook...
What would 'looking at the data' teach you about lightning? Just curious what you expect that data to contain?
Perhaps we need to start with some basic links ... :
The Lightning Flash
http://en.blitzortung.org/cover_your_area.php
Now, in case you missed it on the "Cover your Area" link"
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KzPZ...1467161755
Sorry, but that document is still being finalized, but you should get the idea...
Other Links you are having issues finding"

http://www.lightningmaps.org/

Now, if there's an issue with those apps, direct question to the APP DEVELOPERS -- Not Blitzortung folks on this forum!
And foundation documents...
